"The fighting came first; the kata came from that."

"We should not

overlook the stuff that's gone before us."

In this riveting episode of the World of Martial Arts Show, host Mick

generation in practical applications. The discussion touches on the

applied in real-world scenarios, revealing the depth of knowledge that

Steve has acquired over the years. Listeners will appreciate Steve's

candid reflections on the current state of martial arts, where

traditional practices often clash with modern interpretations. He shares

insights into his dojo, Koru, which serves as a sanctuary for those

seeking genuine martial arts training, free from the commercialisation

that often plagues the industry. This episode is a treasure trove of

wisdom for martial arts enthusiasts and anyone interested in the deeper

meanings behind their practice. Join Mick and Sensei Steve as they

insights, and a shared passion for the ancient ways of self-defence.
